Desert First Cleaning is a locally owned residential cleaning company headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. We serve homeowners, renters, landlords, and Airbnb hosts across ten Arizona cities — Phoenix, Mesa, Gilbert, Glendale, Sedona, Prescott, Tucson, Prescott Valley, Dewey, and San Tan Valley — with recurring home cleaning, one-time deep cleans, and move in / move out cleaning.
Why we built Desert First
Hiring a cleaner usually comes with two headaches: you never quite know what you’ll get, and the price keeps moving. We built Desert First Cleaning to remove both.
Every clean follows the same 40-point checklist, so quality doesn’t swing from one visit to the next. Every price is flat-rate and shown online before you book — no on-site estimates, no phone tag, no upsells. And every cleaner who enters your home is background-checked and covered by our insurance.
Who runs Desert First
Desert First is owned and run by John Davenport and his business partner — a small, locally focused operation, not a national franchise. That matters when something goes wrong: you’re dealing with the owners, not a call center.
It’s the thing our customers mention most. As one put it, the owner “stands behind his company” and holds the team to a high standard — if a clean isn’t right, we make it right. That’s not a slogan; it’s the whole reason our satisfaction guarantee works the way it does.
What “premium” means at Desert First
- Trained, vetted teams. Every cleaner brings prior residential cleaning experience plus our in-house training. We run national and statewide background checks and verify driver’s licenses on every employee.
- Fully insured. We carry $1,000,000 / $2,000,000 commercial general liability plus workers’ compensation covering our staff — so homeowners, landlords, and property managers are protected. A certificate of insurance is available on request.
- Flat-rate pricing. You pick the date, time, bedrooms, bathrooms, and any add-ons online — and you see the price before you book. No phone tag, no in-person quotes.
- 40-point checklist. Every standard clean covers the same 40 items across kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and common areas. Deep cleans add baseboards, vents, blinds, interior appliances, and more.
- Satisfaction guarantee. Walk the finished job with your cleaner before they leave, and anything you flag gets fixed on the spot. Notice something later? Contact us within 24 hours and we’ll come re-clean the area at no charge. See our satisfaction guarantee for exactly how it works.
- Flexible scheduling. One-time, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Recurring schedules unlock automatic discounts.
Where we work
We’re based at 1801 E Camelback Rd Ste 102 in Phoenix, AZ, but we travel to you. We don’t operate a walk-in storefront — every clean is performed at your home or rental property. Our service area covers the full Phoenix metro plus Sedona, Prescott, Prescott Valley, Tucson, and Dewey to the north, and San Tan Valley to the southeast.
If your address is on the edge of one of our cities, give us a call — we’re often able to extend a few miles past the city line.
